Free Pattern: Happy Hanging Towel

Can you imagine a towel could make someone happy? Hooking a towel to something to keep my dog from stealing it makes me happy for sure. I wanted to create a towel that has a nice texture and is quick and easy to make. PLUS could wrap around a fridge or stove handle so my sweet Oila (black lab) won’t grab it and run out the doggy door.

I am pleased with this and hope you will enjoy it too. If you make one please come share a photo so my friends and I can see your awesome creation too.
